Harris's Sparrow, GC Sparrow, Pacific Loon (1/16)

["Rick Fridell" <rfridell at redrock dot net>]

Hello,
This morning (1/16) the Pacific Loon was still at Quail Creek State Park (in
the center of the reservoir with a Common Loon).  During lunch hour
yesterday (1/15), I went to the Virgin River Trail (Santa Clara Confluence
TH) and relocated the first winter Harris's Sparrow found by the Summers
last Sunday.  The Harris's Sparrow was with a small flock of White-crowns in
the same area where Steve and Priscilla originally found it (along the
Virgin River between the footbridge and the I-15 bridge).  I also saw a
Golden-crowned Sparrow in the large atriplex bushes upstream from the
footbridge.  Other birds in the area included: Ladder-backed Woodpecker,
Verdin, Juniper Titmouse, Bushtit, Abert's Towhee, and of course
White-crowned Sparrows.

Best Regards,

Rick Fridell
Hurricane, UT
